Global search options

0
I'm exploring all of the options to performing a global search of a Mendix app. I want to read all attributes in all entities across all modules, or if necessary select the combos I want to make available for that search capability. I have some thoughts on how I could engineer something through the MxReflection module but wondering what all of you might have come up with as a best practice/widget that I might not be aware of (or are aware of and you confirm what I know). Thanks!

Nolan,

I have used the Lucene add on from the appstore.  https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/app/3099/FlowFabric-BV/Lucene-text-search  Worked really well for me.  Configurable to search as many or as few attributes/associations/etc. as you would like.  And provides a query 'language' that enables people to search with wild cards, combination searches, etc.

Doesn't look like it has been updated to 7, but maybe Chris De Gelder can comment on any plans for that.

Hope that helps,

Mike

Have a look in the appstore at Spotlight by Appronto.

Using the SDK is another option.
